When an animal is uplifted via some sort of Applied Phlebotinum, it's not enough for the animal to simply become smarter and gain the ability to speak. Sometimes, the animal will transform physically as well.
It will transition from quadrupedal to bipedal, the forelimbs will either gain Feather Fingers or Humanlike Hand Anatomy, the hindlimbs will develop Humanlike Foot Anatomy, and its realistic animal eyes will turn into Cartoony Eyes.
As you can probably guess, a lot of the above would involve a radical change in internal anatomy, but this is rarely acknowledged.
While this trope and Uplifted Animal can overlap, one does not necessarily require the other. An Uplifted Animal can become smarter without changing much in appearance. Conversely, it's possible for an animal that was already intelligent to begin with to be physically changed into a more anthropomorphic form.
See also Anthropomorphic Shift (when an animal gradually becomes more anthropomorphic as a series goes on), Humanity Ensues (when a non-human fully transforms into a human instead of merely gaining human-like traits), Uplifted Animal, Bishōnen Line, and Artificial Animal People (when they are transformed via super science). The inversion is Unanthropomorphic Transformation.
Compare Transforming Mecha.

SuperMansion: Cooch was an ordinary cat until she was evolved by an "evo-ray". She has retained a very feline personality and attention span.
Happens temporarily to Robobot, too; while in the world of mythology, a magic potion turns him human, and he delights in every sensation — even defecating.

Common with lupine Digimon:
In Digimon Adventure, Garurumon undergoes this when he digivolves into WereGarurumon.
In Digimon Data Squad, Gaogamon becomes more humanoid when transforming into MachGaogamon.

In an episode of Earthworm Jim, Peter Puppy is revealed to have originally been an ordinary dog until he got sucked into a portal to heck where Evil the Cat had a demon possess him which makes him anthropomorphic and grants him heightened intelligence and the ability to talk. When Jim and Peter confront Evil to have the demon removed (In an effort to get rid of Peter's monster form), Peter loses all of these features. However, Peter takes the demon back at the end.

Captain Neweyes from We're Back! A Dinosaur's Story has a magic cereal called Brain Grain that turns dinosaurs from savage, unintelligent beasts with more realistic designs, to stylized, big-eyed, talking cartoon characters. His evil brother Professor Screweyes has a pill that can reverse this effect, but the human child characters manage to turn the dinosaurs back into their cartoony selves simply by hugging them.

While Schlock Mercenary has several uplift species (dolphins, various apes, polar bears), the elephants qualify for this trope — willing to stand on two legs, able to grab and use rifles, and one strip had a joke based on "Want to thumb-wrestle?". (The polar bears may also qualify; Captain Landon, part of one police force's Internal Affairs division, can also hold guns; this suggests better fine motor control and 'fingers' versus 'toes' to do so.)

Marvel Universe:
The Avengers: This is the High Evolutionary's specialty ever since he debuted in the pages of The Mighty Thor — since the start, he had to deal with the Man-Beast, a wolf he turned into a Beast Man with mental powers that eclipsed his own.
The Inhumans: One of the litter-mates of the Inhuman Royal Family's dog Lockjaw was sent to Spider-Ham's World of Funny Animals as a puppy, where the "anthropomorphic field" led to her growing up as a Funny Animal named Doc Jaw.
Tigra: This shows up in the background origin of the superheroine The Cat, later known as Tigra. The Cat People were originally ordinary cats uplifted by a wizard in order to be companions for mankind. Naturally, this went off without a hitch.

Professor MacKrill in Help! I'm a Fish has a potion that can turn humans into fish, as well as an antidote that can reverse the effect. This antidote can also transform realistic-looking fish into cartoony and anthropomorphic versions of themselves, and if too much is consumed, the fish will become a human. This is how the villain, a power-hungry pilot fish named Joe, is defeated, as humans cannot breathe underwater.

The "Day of Awakening" in the backstory of Bug Fables granted insects plus a few spiders human sapience and lifespans alongside a number of other human features.
All became bipedal, losing a pair of legs in the process, with the exception of the spiders.
All who had ocelli lost them with the exception of the Mantises.
Mantises gained fingers in place of their scythe-arms.
Many lost their mandibles and have a simple human looking mouth. Some butterflies, moths and mosquitoes retain their proboscis. Strangely, a few mosquitoes have both a mouth and a proboscis.
When Zasp gets indigestion during the Eating Contest, he clutches his midsection like a human would, implying the organs are in there and not inside the abdomen.

One Piece:
The Zoan-type Devil Fruits give their eater the ability to transform into a specific animal, wholly or partially. There are multiple Zoan related to humans or humanoid mythical creatures, which when eaten by animals grant sapience in addition to shapeshifting. Most notable is Straw Hat member Tony Tony Chopper, a reindeer who ate the standard Human Human Fruit.
"Homies" are anthropomorphized animals and inanimate objects given life by Big Mom's Soul Soul Devil Fruit. When an inanimate object like a cake or a tree is turned into a homie, they usually maintain their original form just with a mouth and eyes, but when an animal becomes a homie, not only do they become intelligent, they also change shape, with many quadruped animals like rabbits and crocodiles walking as upright bipeds, along with their forelegs turning into hands.

SpongeBob SquarePants:
Sandy Cheeks turns into a realistic live-action squirrel whenever she is on land. The other characters will also sometimes turn into live-action versions of themselves on dry land depending on the episode.
Inverted in the episode "Feral Friends", which has Neptune's Moon coming up and temporarily turning everyone except Sandy into realistic non-anthropomorphic versions of their respective species. The episode ends with Neptune's Sun turning Sandy into a non-anthro squirrel. It doesn’t have this effect on the less anthropomorphised puppet character Potty the Parrot, instead turning him into a (cheap puppet) pterodactyl! (And Patchy, a human, into a caveman)

Advanced Dungeons & Dragons 2nd Edition: This edition has a supplement, Pages from the Mages, which features a spell called Evolve, which will change an animal to make it look more humanoid. This can include giving it an upright humanoid shape, two arms and two legs (adding or subtracting as necessary), hands (so it can manipulate objects), and a human-like face.

The Avengers: This is the High Evolutionary's specialty ever since he debuted in the pages of The Mighty Thor — since the start, he had to deal with the Man-Beast, a wolf he turned into a Beast Man with mental powers that eclipsed his own.

Downplayed in The Chronicles of Narnia: animals that were gifted the power of speech by Aslan are more inclined to walk bipedally if it happens to be convenient, and seem more dexterous with their paws, but are otherwise in their original shapes and capable of doing all the things non-speaking animals can do. More noticeable is the change in size: those that were much larger or smaller than humans were adjusted accordingly, but only to a moderate extent.

The magic crocodile tongues in James and the Giant Peach have the ability to turn regular bugs into giant clothes-wearing versions of themselves. This is made more explicit in Henry Selick's film adaptation, where we see Ms. Spider as both a small realistic live-action spider, and a gigantic stop-motion spider with a human-like face. In this case, it's implied that the bug characters were already intelligent even before they transformed.
